Welcome to How to Live the Little Way. A weekly post here at The Littlest Way where I gather all the ordinary things that happen or are happening in my day to day. Things like what I’m reading or listening to, eating, cleaning, and learning. These are the small moments that make up my blessed daily life and I want to remember them. My prompts may change depending on season and circumstance.
* I’ve written an ebook to guide you through the whys and hows to get started with Bible Journaling, Bible Journaling Tips, Inspiration and Permission, and to encourage and inspire you in your Bible journaling!

Praying…
I’m praying for all the mommas launching or slowly letting go of college kids and young adults. Bittersweet for sure.
I have some big prayers going on right now. I started a 9-week Rosary Novena 15 days ago and each day the enemy seems to be gaining ground. I’m not backing down and I’m not finished.
I’m also working on a resource for homeschooling families to pray over their little school this year.
Pondering…
I’ve been sharing the quotes I’m pondering over on my Instagram. If we’re not friends over there yet, head over and follow!
Listening to…
I Am They. They are a new to me group that I love!
Reading…
The One Year Bible – Catholic: NLT
This is my “quantity” Bible to make sure I get the Word inside me each and every day.
Catholic Journaling Bible
This is my study Bible.
Deliverance Prayers: For Use by the Laity
I’ve been crocheting this past week to calm my heart and mind and listening to The Rule of St. Benedict. I’m not an auditory learner and can’t really say how much I’m learning and retaining, but my soul knows.
Bible Journaling…
The new Illustrated Faith Revival Camp Bible Journaling Kit will be released soon!! I already have it my hands and it is so pretty. It has this one patch that states, “Courage.” I am holding on to that command right now. Here’s a link to last month’s kit and my post sharing it.
Around the House…
Saturday I got completely caught up on my laundry. I watched for Jesus in the East all afternoon, just in case, because who does that? Not me. Although my sock basket is still lovingly referred to as “Purgatory in a Basket.”
In the Kitchen…
I need to make a good meal plan and do my online shopping. And then stick to my meal plan. For real this time.

Self Care
Two weeks ago was all about getting Veronica ready for college. Last week was a time to rest and recoup. Competitive soccer takes a lot of time, money, and commitment. And although worth every cent, it was time to breathe. A breath four years in the making. She’s done it though, she’s off living her dream and chasing her passion!
(I purchase my essential oils from Amazon or Edens Garden instead of a distributor. If you’re not an Amazon Prime member with FREE shipping, Edens Garden has FREE shipping all the time in the US.)
The Littlest Way
This week is all about setting up a seamless membership for our Online Monthly Bible Study Community.
Our Domestic Church…
All things considered this past week, I think it would be a great idea for us to read and consider this post, Spiritual Motherhood for Priests.
Wednesday the 22nd is the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Saving Money…
I need my Aldis to open back up. Well, technically my lack in saving grocery money is not all Aldis fault, although they have been under construction. But so have we it feels like.
Captured…
Debbi says
What is V planning on studying? Future vocation??
Jenny says
She wants to stay connected to the sports world so maybe physical therapy for athletes with an emphasis on strength and conditioning to prevent injuries.
Karen says
Sheep? Sheep? Sheep! You lucky girl!!!! Wish I lived closer so I could teach you to spin!!!!
Jenny says
I forget what kind these are? Chris says they shed their wool so they don’t have to be sheared.
Lynn says
Our first college drop off is Thursday, to a Benedictine college. I am looking forward to I t for her, but I know it will be hard for us. I am glad she is as excited as she is.
Jenny says
Yay for a Benedictine college! I am more and more impressed with the school each day♥ It is hard to know this is why and how we raised them, but they leave as a part of the next step in their own journey.
